Adam Ondra #82: Meet with Seb Bouin / La Moustache qui Fache 9a+

[@Mr1980Jonas]

8a warm up, I can relate to that. I also warm up around 8am.

[@jean-baptisteblanc1367]

Damn, you're strong :p

[@biomorphic]

Once I sent a route (still unrepeated), which I graded 9p(m). The route is called "Sleep a bit (m)ore". It's a very difficult boulder problem in my bedroom.

[@melkorWTF]

Damn you're crazy, around 8am I can't move from the rest position.

[@dominic508]

And getting mad you don't flash a 9a+... This guy is ridiculously impressive.

[@La0bouchere]

@@leifgriem9753 Also reach. Physical attributes aside though, Ondra's best quality is work ethic. He's tried and grinded out more hard routes than anyone else in the world, which is probably the biggest reason why he's the best.

Two of the best climbers in the world in one video

[@goldenbeardofficial8541]

[@Myosos]

@@goldenbeardofficial8541 he said "two of the best", not "the two best"

[@torwald5877]

@@Myosos @Goldenbears Official I love Chris Sharma, he has been my idol for years, but he is not as good as Adam and Alex Megos. And when it comes to lead climbing only, Seb Bouin, Jakob Schubert or Stefan Ghisolfi are slightly better as well. He has been the King for years but the level is rising up so quickly...

[@ChanmailleMan]

I realize this is a pretty small thing overall, but I've always been super impressed with the efficiency of Adam's clipping. No messing around, no fumbling, just a reach and a click, and it's on to the next hold. I guess that's what decades of practice looks like.

[@Mike-oz4cv]

I recently watched some lead climbing beginners, I had totally forgotten how hard clipping is for beginners. It took them ages and they often got nervous which made it even worse.

[@MF-CLIMB]

ChanmailleMan it’s an art form in itself, efficient clipping saves time and effort which reduces pump...this is the problem I currently have. I tend to get my body shape wrong when clipping so I’m using up too much energy so I’m pumped before the top!

[@ChanmailleMan]

@@MF-CLIMB It's definitely a tough skill to master. I only end up sport climbing a handful of times a year, so my on-route practice tends to be pretty limited

[@MF-CLIMB]

ChanmailleMan I lead climb indoors once a week so I’m trying to get better and not let the panic of clipping and holding myself stop me from progressing.

[@jacobgaylord9277]

Northern Sends Support your weight a much as possible with your legs/feet/heels, keep your non-clipping arm straight; if you are pumped, use your clipping arm to hold your body and shake your non-clipping arm/hand as long as possible, giving you the maximum amount of strength to hold on while making the clip. It might not feel intuitive, but it is much more important to rest the non-clipping arm/hand as it takes far less strength to make a clip than to hold your body weight. This advice really helped me when I was still new to leading, hope it helps you too!

[@amatsuman]

Seb is low key, classy and definitely a pioneer and one of the best.🙂👍🏼

[@TheMikolasZuza]

6:40 In Czech we don't say "I fell", we say "Jsem k*kot, fakt k*nda, p*ča, aaaaagh" and I think that’s beautiful :D

[@Remi-B-Goode]

Wonderful ! Seb is a pionner of the Gorges du Verdon, one of the greatest place in France, which is by the way really full of divers landscapes and differents regions, it's wonderful. Thank you for this cool video and congratulations, outdoor is really something else than indoor artificial wall climbing, even both complete themselves

[@tambling3961]

It's amazing how adam climbs on his flash go like if he checked the route for weeks 🤯

He did. Watched videos of ascent and executed beta from it.

[@robertobreve8623]

Same energy when I can't flash a 5a

[@paulelderson934]

If you climb twice a week, you'll flash pretty much all 5a within a couple of months. Just keep at it!

[@beethovenian]

Really appreciate this episode! It's important to see a heroic figure come up short sometimes. We all know he's still Adam Ondra, and that helps us when we fail! Much appreciated!

[@GavynPendleton]

Loved this one!! Really a huge fan of Seb, and I thought this was a well done story. I think it’s so important to show this side of climbing

[@wings2585]

[@timignatov7394]

You know i actually love that not every vid is a crazy last go send attemp and thats it. Its really refreshing and nice to see that sometimes these thing just dont work out but Adam still keeps his head up. Legend!! 👌😎🧗‍♂️🗻

[@Osmosium2507]

I have a slight suspicion that the words at 6:39 were not translated correctly for the subtitles... 🤔

[@hashiramasenju5001]

You are correct! Although the English language lacks the variety of hard expressive words, I shall do the best to translate this part for you: I'm such a dick, fucking pussy, fuck! Would probably would be a pretty close translation.

[@elie_]

Aiming for a flash this seriously really is something special. It requires an immense mental implication, as well as a great ability for self questionning. Indeed, it would be pretty easy, especially for a climber who's already achieved so much, not to go 100% into the ground preparation thus giving him/herself an "excuse" in case of failure. I know I sometimes do that out of laziness (shame...), but mister Ondra is showing us the way: always be true to yourself and aim as high as you can! Thank you for sharing this

[@stahlmannenn]

We got a small glimpse of it in 4:40 but I want to see a complete video from Adams warm up and mental preperation for this kind of attempt!

Why don't climbers bring a lazer pointer to the rocks? It would make pointing out the holds much easier... is there a reason they don't do this?

I assume if it worked people would be doing it but, maybe you're on to the next thing... I guess in daylight and given the distances, it wouldn't really work
